        there is now a new restaurant here in Creston?  It is called "Way Back In" and is located at the Black Mountain RV  Resort, which is about 5 miles southwest of downtown Creston.  To get there, drive south on O'Donovan to HWY 58,  turn right ( heading west now) onto Hwy 58, and drive up to the top of the hill and look to your left....  there is a huge sign and white fence entrance to "Black Mountain Resort Road" ( or something like that )...  drive all the way back to the campground, and you will see the permanent buildings. I went to this restaurant last Saturday evening and met the owner, who is a local Creston resident. He is still developing the menu, and his website, so be patient, but the food I ate was fantastic, and the beer was $3. I enjoyed the atmosphere and pioneer style decorations, plus the TV. The hours are noon to 10 PM daily, according to their sign.  Check it out and let's give them some business !

  At  long last,  the Internet now provides a place for all of the Creston residents to voice their opinion about the long-awaited Community Center, which is now about to become a reality. PLEASE  check out webmaster Mike Barrett's new site for your input, plus all the latest information about the process of designing and implementing a plan to build  our  COMMUNITY  CENTER.  Did you know that the Rodeo was created in 1995 by Nancy Ryan and Rosie Hebron  (and a few others) as a vehicle to raise funds to build the community center?   Did you know that when the first  Rodeo/ CATCH  Fund meeting was announced around town,  over 130 local residents attended that first meeting, and that  27 locals ran to become board members and that the board consisted of  9  members at that time???   The   "CATCH  fund" was created  to hold the funds raised in a trust.  Check out  the new web site with all the info  at:
